Aunt Zhou recently had a severe headache because of high blood pressure, and her blood pressure was frighteningly high every time she was measured, and the doctor told her to control her diet, especially to eat less salt. This made Uncle Zhou, who loved salted fish and cured meat, quite depressed, and the family fell into a small dispute. Uncle Zhou insisted that just because he ate too much salt, how could other foods cause high blood pressure? But Aunt Zhou was worried about her health and family harmony, so she nervously flipped through all kinds of health information. At this moment, their daughter Xiao Zhou stepped forward and said, "Mom, don't just stare at salt, our little salt intake is not the 'culprit' of high blood pressure." Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou were surprised when they heard this, is there any other reason? Xiao Zhou explained to them that in fact, sodium in table salt is not the only cause of high blood pressure, and many other foods also contain a lot of sodium, which is an assistant to high blood pressure. She emphasized that to truly control high blood pressure, you have to look at how much sodium you eat inadvertently. 
This truth is a "surprise" for many people around me. We ordinary people usually think simply, thinking that high blood pressure is caused by a love of salty. However, sodium is much more than salt, in fact, it is everywhere, hiding in foods you can't think of. Yes, you heard it right, it's the foods that you eat every day and feel delicious. These could all be the culprits that quietly raise your blood pressure. For example, the pickled foods we often eat, we all know that pickled vegetables, salted fish, and bacon are delicious, and we often can't stop eating. But the sodium content in these delicacies is surprisingly high, and it can be said that it is high blood pressure"** Moreover, in addition to these obvious foods, sodium is also hidden in some seemingly harmless foods. 
Although the dried tomatoes, snacks, and cheeses we often eat have different tastes, the sodium content is also higher than the other, and they greatly exceed our expectations of "sodium". Not to mention drinking soup made from soup stock, eating sausages, bacon, and some condiments. You may not believe it, but even the sodium content of that spoonful of soy sauce and a small amount of yeast that we don't look like a threat is not negligible. As a result, our daily sodium intake is far exceeded. And high blood pressure is quietly attacking before we know it. This is not alarmism, but a real health wake-up call. How do you say? In fact, there are also tips for lowering blood pressure, and lifestyle changes can decompress your blood vessels. 
Weight loss is a big project for middle-aged and elderly people who are out of shape, but the gain is not only a charming figure, but also healthy blood pressure. For those who suffer from high blood pressure, for every 5 kg of weight lost, blood pressure can drop by 10 to 20 mm Hg, which is a real benefit. Exercising more not only makes you energetic, but it also keeps your blood pressure down.

Of course, releasing emotions and maintaining a good mood are also effective ways to lower blood pressure. You don't have to be in a hurry, don't get angry, relax your mind, and your blood pressure can drop by 5 to 10 mm Hg. Mindset is everything, and being an optimistic hypertensive patient is also a key means to solve the problem. 
Finally, the cardiovascular expert gave four words of advice to patients with high blood pressure, which is a bit mean, but it speaks to the heart of the problem.

There is,"Smoking a cigarette, blood pressure continues to rise for 15 to 30 minutes", which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to patients with high blood pressure who have a habit of smoking. It's not just food, tobacco is also the killer of blood pressure. In addition, the sentence "many people have high blood pressure because they stay up late" is also thought-provoking.
